I live in a posh suburb of Chicago. Around me are many multi-million dollar homes. The schools are highly ranked. The people who own the big homes used to be upper level executives, lawyers, doctors and business owners. Now most of the new home owners work for NGOs and other non-profits. They make huge salaries as do-gooders who go to a few meetings a month. Even the lawyers work for the non-profits.
Their goal is to raise funds, pay themselves and create an endowment to keep the grift growing. They will have balls or other events a few times a year for donors and themselves. And of course politicians who can influence government grants are always at the events. Non-profits are a scam. Nobody should give to any non-profit unless its very local and you can see where the money goes.
Unfortunately for them, Trump sees through this. When his people bring this to him, he understands very quickly what’s going on
In my posh NY suburb growing up, there were execs, and lawyers. We kids knew everything and what the guy was doing to make money. Sometimes it was unclear. Their kids were reticent
They were obvious. Nice people, baby sat for them etc. But what the guy did wasn’t discussed
That’s what this sounds like. I moved away, I don’t know who lives there now. My sister says the guys living in those hoods are not doing what our fathers were doing. The real estate rate is increased thirty thousand. The taxes are $3 k per month
If someone had told us kids that the guys were working for the park service we’d act the way we did when we were told someone was running some bogus front business
No sale. We would not aspire to that career. To much BS and questionable activity
So, people are looking the other way a whole lot more than they were when we were kids.
No more.
